that is a pretty naive way of using statistics... perhaps consider the prior here

So, a right wing fascist then? Since the last attack was the murder of Jo Cox....

Exactly a year on from the Belgium attack isn't it?

how so?

I don't condone automatically assuming that assailants in incidents such as this are Islamic, but to say that if they are then it is more likely to be down to alcohol/weed than them sharing the views of certain terrorist organisations is a bit delusional in the current climate I feel...

Nobody mows down people in a car and then goes on a stabbing spree because they are high or drunk...

i dont think people deny Islamic terrorism exists so your just being stupid

*you're

maybe you've missed some of the previous threads on here then where people specifically use the phrase 'nothing to do with Islam' and/or emphasise the mental health of the attacker

was he driving a 2-series active tourer?? he is clearly an inhuman monster with no soul

All Muslims are to blame for this, All Muslims do absolutely nothing against extreme muslims all because they must secretly support extremism...

No it isnt, there are plenty done by others too, all the usual suspects jumped to the same conclusion over the attack at the Dusseldorf train station (you included iirc) but it turned out to be a eastern European guy.

You mean the asylum seeker from the majority Muslim country in southern Europe? Not the best counter-point.

sorry but that is an outrageous accusation, Islam is a peaceful religion

if they do turn out to be supposed 'muslims' then it will clearly be down to mental health or alcohol/weed and nothing ideological at all

You mean like how Joe Cox's murder wasn't motivated by right wing hatred? C'mon man the facts will come out it just doesn't serve any agenda to release information till the big picture is understood.

He was an Afghan.

EDIT: Wait, apparently there was ANOTHER attack recently - this world is sad.

Even if it hasn't been confirmed it would be a brave man that bets against this being Islamic terrorism.

some individuals on GD seem to think the world smells of roses and that you cant call a spade a spade, even when its right in front of their eyes.

Eh? Joe Cox's murder was carried out by a right wing extremist.

Police say attack at UK Parliament being treated as "terrorist incident until we know otherwise". Continuing live coverage

So blame first, ask questions later.

What does calling a spade a spade achieve anyway? How are you progressing our knowledge/understanding/solution by doing so?

What is your contribution?

I know, I think you're interpreting my post at face value, I wasn't being serious, if you look further down GD I made a thread the other day expressing dismay at the father of an attacker blaming his son's actions on drink and alcohol. I don't literally believe that weed and alcohol are credible reasons for an attack like this.

Absolutely disgusting whatever the aim was for this nut job.

Yep it will be treated as such until it is confirmed either way.

ChrisD. · 22 Mar 2017 at 15:42

Why on earth wouldn't they treat it as terrorism until they know more? Correct move.

jimjamuk · 22 Mar 2017 at 15:44

Frankly those talking rubbish about Islam / far right / SNP need to show some respect until some facts come out - seriously you need to grow up
